1. OpenAI’s experimental reasoning LLM model hits IMO gold-level math milestone
2 4.5-hour exam sessions, with no tools or the internet for the evaluation — the same rules as human contestants.
July 2024: Google DeepMind achieved silver-medal standard.
Went beyond the standard reinforcement learning to generate complex, human-level mathematical proofs for IMO-style problems.
New test-time compute scaling approach to beat human contestants.
No plans to release any models with this level of math capability for “several months.”
GPT-5 is coming soon, though.
